Installation and Upgrades / Get mail filter to scan zip files in e-mails?

« on: April 24, 2010, 05:46:11 pm »

I'm getting a lot of virus e-mails containing a small zip file. Is there a way to get mail filter to scan these? I ran clamscan against the files on the server locally and they result in a "FOUND."

Also, if I recall correctly, isn't there a setting in amavis to only scan attachments smaller than a certain size?

Installation and Upgrades / 1.4-1: Cannot create a virtual user that matches admin account

« on: April 12, 2010, 08:38:46 am »

I could do this in 1.4. During the installer, I created an admin account. After installation & configuration, I cannot create the same account in the Users & Groups section. I keep getting the error: Username already exists on the system.

Installation and Upgrades / Documentation for .mas stub files?

« on: February 27, 2010, 08:05:38 pm »

Is there any documentation for the stub file formats? I'd like to make changes to my setup and I'd like to make my changes fit within ebox's design as much as possible.
Answer: apparently the format is http://www.masonbook.com/.

Short term question:Is there a way that I could read a file into a variable and have that variable appended at the end of the stub? Like the following:

<%init>
...
my $user_include_file;
{
  local $/=undef;
  open FILE,  "/etc/postfix/custom/user-main.cf" or die "Couldn't open file: $!";
  binmode FILE;
  $user_include_file = <FILE>;
  close FILE;
}

except I don't want the die part.
</%init>
...

<%$user_include_file%>

Installation and Upgrades / Migrating an ebox configuration from one machine to another

« on: February 05, 2010, 09:43:36 am »

I'm setting up ebox 1.4 in a VM for testing before I make install on a production machine. Is there a way to save time on the production machine by somehow copying over config files from the VM? For example, if I install ebox on the new machine exactly the same, couldn't I just copy over the ebox config files just before enabling all of the modules?

Installation and Upgrades / Creating a secure, https, 443, virtual host with the webserver

« on: January 28, 2010, 09:25:30 pm »

Would someone help me figure out how to create SSL virtual hosts with ebox? I'm trying to figure out the correct way to do it, as in, a way that works as much with ebox as possible.

Goals:

• Move webmail from http://ip/webmail to https://mail.mydomain.com.
• Replace my existing webserver setup with ebox. I'd like to have ebox at https://:444, several http://:80 virtual hosts, one https://mail.mydomain.com:443 virtual host, and also to redirect http://mail.mydomain.com:80 to the one at :443.

My actions so far:

• I created the mail.mydomain.com virtual host.
• I created a certificate for it that is assigned to the ebox admin interface, "apache".
• Moved ebox to :444.
• Deleted the /var/www/webmail symlink and replaced the /var/www/mail.mydomain.com directory with a symlink to /var/lib/roundcube.
• Using http, the webmail works fine at http://mail.mydomain.com

Now, I want to make that virtual host https and only https. I think I have to do this by adding a file to /etc/apache2/sites-available/user-ebox-mail.mydomain.com which I'll call "custom.conf". In custom.conf, I need to add the commands to turn on SSL and tell it where to find certificates. I also need to tell apache to "Listen 443" somewhere and to load the ssl module. I'm not really sure how and where to do these steps. Also, do I have to modify the "<VirtualHost *>" line(s)?

Thanks.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that I'm doing all of this with ebox-1.3.15.

Installation and Upgrades / Is it always okay to "apt-get update"?

« on: January 27, 2010, 05:15:39 pm »

Hi, I'm new to ebox, but not to Linux or server administration. I'm playing with ebox-1.3.10.

Is it always okay to "apt-get update"? I just want to know if I have to worry about a non-ebox package update occurring that would be incompatible with ebox and perhaps preceding an ebox update that would deal with the change. Or is this just a non-issue because of the Debian philosophy of only fixing bugs with updates?

Thanks, Harvey

Installation and Upgrades / apt sources list not setup correctly with 0.12.99 installer

« on: January 01, 2009, 04:28:58 am »

I tried to update and install all of the ebox modules, but none were available. I added

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox-unstable/ubuntu hardy main

to sources.list and then was able to continue.

Installation and Upgrades / Administration interface TCP port setting not used during install

« on: January 01, 2009, 03:56:27 am »

Using the install iso's 0.12.99 and 0.12.3-1, setting the port to something other than 443 does not work. I even thought a reboot might make the configuration take effect, but no luck. Setting it through the web interface works.
